Yes, the mental mayhem does end. Some days are better than others but none of them have that screaming need for a drink. I had to learn a whole new way to deal with anger and frustration.
When I get angry I talk about it. I see it for what it is, a trigger to drink. It's part of the four big triggers that people talk about. Hunger, Anger, Loneliness and Tired, collectively H.A.L.T. If I'm having a tough time all of a sudden, one of those is sure to be the culprit. If I address that, it gets a whole lot better. Keep it up. 23 days is great
